Key result
Review outlines chronic HF pathophysiology, diagnosis, pharmacological treatments, and the nursing role in patient care.
Why the study?
Heart failure has increasing global prevalence, high morbidity and mortality, suboptimal prognosis, and significant impacts on patients, families, and healthcare services.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of chronic heart failure, including its pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and the role of nursing care.
Alerts clinicians to rising HF burden and nurse roles; leaves open rigorous trials on care strategies.
Heart failure (HF) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is a significant public health concern. Globally, the prevalence of HF is increasing and prognosis remains suboptimal for people with the condition. HF has significant effects on patients, their families and healthcare services. People with HF can present with acute or chronic signs and symptoms. This article provides an overview of HF including its prevalence, pathophysiology, causes, diagnosis and management. It details the pharmacological treatments that may be used and the nurse's role in caring for patients with the condition.
